Mrs. Besfanette Whitaker--the last living child of Ben C. and Bessie L. Britt of Clayton, Alabama--was celebrated on the occasion of her 100th birthday in Moultrie, Georgia this month. A Centennial Luncheon, which was attended by a host of her family and friends from all over the country, was held at Mother Easter Baptist Church. Mrs. Whitaker is known to be a 'Champion of the Lemon Tree', and in her zeal for the favorable health properties of this fruit, she has provided education, seeds, and seedlings all over the country, including Clayton and Eufaula.
